The drafting of the Civil Code of the RSFSR proceeded under the direct guidance of V. I. Lenin, who provided a whole series of remarks of a principled, foundational character and secured their implementation in the code (see the present volume, pp. 396–400, 401). V. I. Lenin gave his assessment of the Civil Code of the RSFSR at the IV session of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the IX convocation on October 31, 1922 (see Works, 4th ed., vol. 33, pp. 355–356).
